You can ‘Drop-In’ to see me for support any morning between 8.30-1pm , I am very approachable and I can give advice with any issues or worries you have in relation to how your child is doing at school or issues outside school that may be affecting school or your family life, alternatively please just feel free just to pop in for a friendly chat and a coffee!
